About Elizabeth Moon:
"Excellent plotting and characters support the utterly realistic action
sequences: swift, jolting, confusing, and merciless. It's a
corker!"--Kirkus Reviews
"Moon has created a richly imagined universe of different cultures,
replete with intriguing characters and the sense of unlimited
possibility that characterizes the most appealing science
fiction."--School Library Journal
"Rip-roaring action and intriguing science and tactics . . . [a] grand
space opera tour de force."--Publishers Weekly
". . . the first work of high heroic fantasy I've seen that has taken
the work of Tolkien, assimilated it totally and deeply and absolutely,
and produced something altogether new and yet incontestably based on the
master . . . [Moon's] military knowledge is impressive, her picture of
life in a mercenary company most convincing. I'm deeply
impressed."--Judith Tarr
